You definitely don\u2019t want to miss the great selling opportunity you have right now. Here\u2019s why this month is the optimal time to make sure your house is available for holiday buyers.<\/p>\n<p>The latest\u00a0<a title=\"Existing Home Sales Report\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nar.realtor\/research-and-statistics\/housing-statistics\/existing-home-sales\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Existing Home Sales Report<\/a>\u00a0from\u00a0<em>The National Association of Realtors\u00a0<\/em>(NAR) shows the inventory of houses for sale has dropped to an astonishing all-time low. It now sits at a\u00a0<strong>2.5-month supply<\/strong>\u00a0at the current sales pace.<\/p>\n<p>Historically, a 6-month supply is necessary for a \u2018normal\u2019 or \u2018neutral\u2019 market, in which there are enough homes available for active buyers\u00a0<em>(See graph below):<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_1331\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1331\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1331\" src=\"https:\/\/phphouses.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/kcm-infographic-1607611724.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"862\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phphouses.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/kcm-infographic-1607611724.png 1000w, https:\/\/phphouses.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/kcm-infographic-1607611724-300x259.png 300w, https:\/\/phphouses.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/kcm-infographic-1607611724-768x662.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1331\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Impact of Monthly Housing Inventory on Home Prices<\/p><\/div>\n<p>When the supply of houses for sale is as low as it is today, it\u2019s much harder for buyers to find homes to purchase. This means competition among purchasers rises and more bidding wars take place, making it essential for buyers to submit very attractive\u00a0<a title=\"offers\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mykcm.com\/2020\/11\/30\/5-tips-for-homebuyers-who-want-to-make-a-competitive-offer\/\">offers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As this happens, prices rise and sellers are in the best position to negotiate deals that meet their\u00a0<a title=\"ideal terms\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mykcm.com\/2020\/10\/14\/the-1-reason-not-to-wait-to-list-your-house-for-sale\/\">ideal terms<\/a>. So, if your neighbors decide to remove their listings this season, your house may quickly rise to the top of a holiday buyer\u2019s wish list if you stay on the market.<\/p>\n<p>Today, there are many buyers who are ready, willing, and able to purchase. Record-low\u00a0<a title=\"mortgage rates\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mykcm.com\/2020\/12\/02\/with-home-values-surging-is-it-still-affordable-to-buy-right-now\/\">mortgage rates<\/a>\u00a0and a year filled with unique\u00a0<a title=\"changes\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mykcm.com\/2020\/11\/16\/why-working-from-home-may-spark-your-next-move\/\">changes<\/a>\u00a0have prompted buyers to think differently about where they live and to take action. The supply of homes for sale is not keeping up with this high demand, making now the optimal time to sell your house.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Home prices are\u00a0<a title=\"appreciating\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mykcm.com\/2020\/10\/22\/home-values-projected-to-keep-rising\/\">appreciating<\/a>\u00a0in today\u2019s sellers\u2019 market.
